Library Loader 📚

Status:

Getting started

1. Create an account on componentsearchengine.com if you don't have one already.
2. Download a prebuilt version of library-loader from the releases page (only linux builds available, see #67).

Simple install / uninstall

On the releases page, download the latest library-loader-linux-dist.tar.gz and untar it. Each release is bundled with two scripts for installing and uninstalling library-loader :

# Installs both cli/gui binaries in `/usr/bin`
# Installs desktop entry and icon for `library-loader-gui`
sudo install.sh

# Uninstall `library-loader` completely
sudo uninstall.sh

Building from source using Docker

What/Why?

This is an implementation of https://www.samacsys.com/library-loader/ in Rust. Why? Well, since the library-loader SamacSys provides only works on Windows, I thought it would be neat to make something similar but available to everyone.
